So maybe we should start all over.

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER

I’d dare to make more mistakes next time.

I’d relax, I would limber up.

I would be sillier than I have been this trip.

I would take fewer things seriously.

I would take more chances.

I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers.

I would eat more ice cream and less beans.

I would perhaps have more actual troubles,

but I’d have fewer imaginary ones.

You see, I’m one of those people who live

sensibly and sanely hour after hour,

day after day.

Oh, I’ve had my moments,

And if I had it to do over again,

I’d have more of them.

In fact, I’d try to have nothing else.

Just moments, one after another,

instead of living so many years ahead of each day.

I’ve been one of those people who never goes anywhere

without a thermometer, a hot water bottle,

a raincoat and a parachute.

If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have.

If I had my life to live over,

I would start barefoot earlier in the spring

and stay that way later in the fall.

I would go to more dances.

I would ride more merry-go-rounds.

I would pick more daisies.

One of my favorite poems (maybe you can guess why). We've had it hung up in our house ever since I can remember and it just makes me happy :). And one of my favorite songs/music videos below that I think fits with the poem pretty well (and yes, I realize the only two videos I have posted have Rob Thomas in them, but it's just a coincidence :)).

"Cause sometimes we don't really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over again"
